While it's tough being the fall guy, I think setting the example that it's ok for refs to drop inactive battlers is important if we ever want reffing in the league to work properly. Battlers are happy to drop inactive refs and this needs to work both ways if refs aren't to feel like battlers have all the power - which I feel is one of the major issues. It goes hand in hand with the fact that we're a bit too lenient on DQ times.

Refs need to be able to drop slow matches without giving up all their SP.
